MFGM Phospholipids
The Milk Fat Globule Membrane (MFGM) is a multi-nutrient that provides a unique balance of phospholipids, similar to the balance found in the brain. Over time, the phospholipids your brain relies on to support its structure and function decline. MFGM Phospholipids have clinically tested benefits show to support mental wellbeing, mobility, and cognitive development and function, naturally.

Nutiani MFGM Phospholipids are clinically shown to support cognitive development and function, mental wellbeing and mobility across life stages, infants to the elderly. Nutiani MFGM Phospholipids are naturally rich in phospholipids, sphingomyelin and gangliosides, and are creamy-tasting, soluble powders.
Reduction in stress (compared to baseline) in adults with perceived stress over a 12-week clinical trial¹.
MFGM contains over 300 different bioactive components - including various phospholipids, gangliosides, sphingomyelin and proteins.².
We start to lose brain phospholipids from age 20 with as much as a 20% decline by the age of 80³.
